A resolution authorizing
the City Manager to
Negotiate with the # 1
Ranked firm for RFP
#03-04-078 — Employee
Benefit Life & AD&D Plan
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission authorize the City Manager to negotiate with the top
ranked firm for RFP #03-04-078 for Employee Benefit Life and AD&D Plan.
The City issued an RFP an August 20, 2004 for Employee Benefit Life & AD&D Plan requesting quotes on the
current coverage levels, as well as, optional voluntary life products. The cost of the voluntary program would
be paid for 100% by the employees. Responses for this RFP were due to the City Clerk by September 20, 2004.
The appointed Committee met and discussed the merits of the responsive proposals, and evaluated each
according to the plans proposed, pursuant to the City's RFP. Following discussion and deliberation, the
Committee, by consensus, recommends the following Proposer(s), in rank order:
1. Minnesota Mutual
2. Cigna
3. Metropolitan Life
Permission is requested to negotiate with the number 1 firm. Should contract negotiations fail with the top
ranked firm, the Committee recommends the City negotiate with the second ranked firm. If negotiations fail
with the second ranked firm, then permission to negotiate with the third ranked firm. The contracts will be
negotiated until they are found to be acceptable by the City. Once the contracts are negotiated, they will be
brought back before commission for final approval.
Thank you.
